Reviews

Dell Adamo

Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience.
Apple MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 17-inch)

A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance.
Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz)

Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.
Acer Travelmate 5720G

The Travelmate is an excellent notebook for business if you're interested in the 15-inch space, and you're happy with the 3kg weight.
Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz, 17-inch)

Apple's Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia users on the go.
Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

The new MacBook, updated to Intel's Core 2 Duo CPU, compares very favourably with Apple's high-end MacBook Pro line, offering premium performance at a reasonable price.
Apple MacBook Pro (15.4-inch 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

If you've been holding off on making the leap to a MacBook because of the lack of Core 2 Duo processors, this new update adds the latest Intel CPUs and provides a great overall computing experience, albeit at a premium price.
Samsung R65

The Samsung R65 is an overpriced, underperformer that is beaten by cheaper alternatives.
